This sleeve is broken secretly

Chapter 86

Shen Bing quietly turned over a page of the book in his hand.

The breeze was intermittent, blowing the shade of the tree above his head and swaying, and a spot of light also swayed, whether it shone on his eyes, making him narrow his eyes carefully.At this time, the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard is rich, mixed with the aroma of vegetables and fruits visiting around, making people feel intoxicated after taking a breath—even a little too sweet.

Shen Bing was also made a little groggy by the high temperature and aroma of this midsummer, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: I should put mint in the garden someday, so that the whole garden won't be filled with greasy fragrance.

Just thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the big stove next to him moved slightly behind him, as if it was more intimately attached to it.Shen Bing's hand holding the book paused slightly, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on both sides of his forehead, feeling hotter.

Immediately, a hot snort lightly sprinkled on his neck, Shen Yan shrank from being itched, smiled and pushed him back: "Are you awake? Just get up."

Xie Ling hummed and rubbed against him, as if he was still immersed in the daze of his afternoon nap, not fully awake.The stubble on his chin has been healed for two days, and a piece of short stubble popped out, making it itchy and painful to rub. He said with a smile, "It's time to shave you."

Young men in this dynasty are not allowed to grow beards, especially if they are unshaven in front of their elders, it is considered disrespectful. Only those who are highly respected and have a beautiful beard will be considered dignified.Although Xie Ling is unruly by nature, he pays great attention to his appearance and never goes without shaving for a few days.

At this time, I heard Xie Ling humming a few times, his arms wrapped around Shen Bing even tighter, and he was pressed firmly in his arms, rubbing against him like hugging a big pillow, and said vaguely: "...you give me shave."

"Okay." Shen Yan replied helplessly, "You get up first, isn't it hot to be so close?"

It was just now that Shen Tie was lying on the bamboo chair under the tree to read a book. After Xie Ling came over, he insisted on huddling with him. At first, he read with the book in Shen Tie's hand, and fell asleep unconsciously after a while .The small bamboo chair under the two of them was only about an arm's width away, and both of them were slender, squeezed on the bamboo chair, they couldn't move at all, even if they turned over even a little, the chair felt like it was about to collapse.

But Xie Ling didn't seem to feel the heat at all, and he had to push an inch closer to Shen Bing's body, and said coquettishly: "It's not hot, my good youth has icy muscles and bones, I feel very comfortable leaning on you."

Xie Ling's body is hot, and he lay on him like a pancake in this midsummer, Shen Yan was so oppressed by him that he suddenly stretched out his hand to scratch his armpit, taking advantage of Xie Ling's shrinking, his whole body was like a spirit fish generally escaped.Xie Ling was empty in his arms, rolled over and sat up, curled his lips and looked at Shen Yan who was a few steps away, and said, "Where are you going, come quickly."

"Sit down well." Shen Yan nodded at him with a smile, got up and walked into the house.

Xie Qin chased after his back and shouted: "Put on your shoes!"

After a while, Shen Bing came out of the house again, put on clogs, holding a basin of hot water, a towel and a razor in his hand.Xie Ling stared at him with interest, sat cross-legged on the bamboo chair, obediently raised his head and closed his eyes.

Shen Bing took a hot towel, put it on his face lightly, and asked, "Is it hot?"

Xie Ling shook his head.He felt Shen Bing's soft fingertips gently pressing on his face, and his heart seemed to turn into a pool of spring water, soft and light.

After removing the towel, Shen Bin soaked the small silver knife in hot water to get rid of the coolness, pressed Xie Ling's chin with one hand, and stuck the silver knife to his chin with the other, pretending to ask casually: "What are you doing?" Have you not been home for a few days?"

Xie Ling was very comfortable being manipulated by him, closed his eyes and said casually: "Yes."

"Then you go back today."

"What?" Xie Jin suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, Shen Bing raised the knife and shaved off the stubble very quickly, leaving a small coolness of the blade on his face.

Xie Ling didn't care about his face.He stared at Shen Bing with wide eyes, with shock and grievance on his face: "You drive me away?"

"Who drove you away." Shen Bing patted his face with the flat of a small silver knife, and said with a helpless smile, "How long has it been since you went back to Xie's house? Walking here, what does it look like in the eyes of others?"

"Who cares what they think?" Xie Jin cried unwillingly, looking like an abandoned little daughter-in-law, "Since you and I have the marriage certificate in hand, we are a legitimate couple. I have already married into Shen's house, Where do you want me to go back? Where else can I go? Are you going to abandon me!"

Shen Bing couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud "puchi".

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Qin grabbed his sleeve solemnly and shook it lightly, "So you received my marriage letter, do you take our matter seriously?"

"You..." Shen Yan touched the bridge of his tall nose, and sighed, "Of course I received it. Thanks to you, General Lou brought the marriage letter all the way to Jingzhou."

Xie Ling snorted, stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yi close and hugged his waist, looked up at him and said: "As early as the 27th year of Hongwu, you and I made an agreement, and when the time comes, you will come and marry me .So even if we were separated by thousands of miles at that time, I still have to fulfill this promise... No matter what happens in the future, as long as I promise you, I will do it."

Shen Yan looked at him with lowered eyes, his clear eyes moved like spring water shining in the breeze.His brows and eyes are already beautiful and outstanding, coupled with the focused and moving eyes at this time, he has a more meaningful temperament.

Xie Ling looked back at him, his heart was constantly sinking, and he couldn't help standing up and kissing Shen Bing's lips.

"Snapped".

Xie Ling froze, only to feel that the small silver knife was slapped on his lips that were about to move.Looking up, he met Shen Yan's smiling eyes that couldn't help but heard him laughing lowly: "Why are you so anxious... Sit down, you haven't finished plucking your beard yet."

Xie Qin stared at him very dissatisfied, resentful and unwilling, but sat back obediently, staring at him motionlessly with his almond eyes open.With a smile on his face, Shen Bing moved his fingers across his face, and the small silver knife in his hand gently and quickly plucked off the short beard on his face.For a moment, the summer wind was peaceful, the flowers and trees were quiet, and the two people under the cool shade faced each other, one sitting and the other standing. Although they were both silent, they felt a long-lasting peace from this quietness.

Xie Ling closed his eyes and let Chen Bing move on his cheek. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Okay."

Shen Bing's hand froze.

Xie Qin opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I will go home tonight... But there is a condition, you must go back with me."

The corners of Shen Bing's eyebrows twitched slightly, he smiled and did not speak.With soft and dexterous fingers, he quickly plucked Xie Jin's beard. He looked sideways, seemed quite satisfied, and then lowered his head and softly pressed a kiss on Xie Jin's forehead.

"Okay." He smiled lowly.

Xie Ling's eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Do you still remember what you said to me when you and I walked together to the courtyard of Xie's residence after having dinner with Lingfu and Brother Ling?" He laughed and said, "You said that what you want in your life is a meal of dishes and a table of people, and we sit side by side in it. After eating, we will walk out slowly side by side."

As he spoke, he bent down and kissed Xie Ling's lips delicately and tenderly.

"I keep all your wishes in mind, and I will fulfill them for you one by one."

----

Although he resolutely promised to go back with Xie Ling, Shen Bing still showed a little anxiety uncontrollably.Seeing the sun setting inch by inch, after washing and dressing neatly, he began to stand in the middle of the room and meditate.

"Let's go?" Xie Qin stepped into the house, and immediately became vigilant when he saw him like this, "Aren't you repenting?"

"How could that be?" Shen Yan smiled helplessly, "I was just thinking, if I go to your house, what kind of gift should I bring?"

Xie Ling stepped forward to hold his hand, said with a low smile, "I've already brought Xie's daughter-in-law back, what more gifts do they want?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and smiled, and withdrew his hand: "Don't mess around, and don't do anything excessive when you get home in a while."

"I have confessed our relationship to them a long time ago. They must be prepared in their hearts. You don't have to worry."

"It's not this." Shen Yan said softly, "Brother Ling and Father allow you and me to go back now, which is already a step back. They respect you a foot, you have to respect them, don't go too far and provoke everyone Not fast. Got it?"

Before leaving, Shen Bing finally chose a few ancient books and a few pieces of silk and satin cloth he brought back from Jingzhou as a meeting gift. They were not very expensive but also quite intimate, and the scale was just right.

The two drove all the way to the door of Xie's house.Before getting out of the car, Xie Ling took Shen Bing's hand, asked him with a low smile, "Are you nervous?"

Shen Bing glanced at him indifferently, his eyes were rather haughty and calm, as if silently telling him that this question was unnecessary.After withdrawing his gaze, Shen Bing lifted the curtain and got out of the car calmly and gracefully.And Xie Jin gently rubbed his five fingers behind him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

His hands were sweating, and he was still pretending to be calm...

My Master Shen, you are really saving face.

In the past, the entrance of Xie's house was usually full of traffic, and the flow of people who came to visit was endless.However today, perhaps because Xie Jin had greeted him early and said that he would come back, there was no one in front of the grand and magnificent gate of Xie's house, only two young servants stood quietly in front of the gate.

After entering, the entire courtyard was immersed in a dead silence.There were quite a few servants coming and going, and the servants who passed by were also hurried and silent, and they didn't even dare to lift their eyes when they met Xie and Chen who were oncoming.

Shen Bing walked beside Xie Ling, without looking sideways, with his back straight, still so elegant and calm as usual, as if he was walking in his own courtyard.However, only those who know Shen Bing very well can see his nervousness from his somewhat rigid gait and stiff upper body.

Xie Qin glanced sideways at his Master Shen, and a smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth.As if on purpose, he gradually squeezed towards Shen Bing, and suddenly pushed his shoulder against the person beside him.Shen Bing was immersed in his own thoughts, but was caught off guard and staggered by him, lost all his grace just now, and suddenly raised his eyes and glared at him.Xie Ling grinned, and silently mouthed two words at him: It's all right.

A faint blush rose on Shen Bin's cheeks, he coughed, turned his head and continued to stride forward.

The two walked through the nine-curved corridor and came to the hall.However, the hall was brightly lit, and in the center was a round table for nine people, which was already filled with Zhenyan's family banquet, but at this moment, the few people sitting around the table did not raise their glasses or move their chopsticks, but just sat dead silently on the spot.

Xie's father in the middle has a serious face, his whole face is rigid, and his brows are even more knotted; beside him, Xie's mother is full of anxiety, her mouth is tightly pursed, her hands are unconsciously twisting the veil, and the small The small Su embroidery silk satin was rubbed like rags; Xie Hua's expression was a little relaxed, but because his parents were sitting, he had to try his best to put on an unfathomable appearance; only the old lady Xie was smiling Yes, while she was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, she kept chanting words.

As soon as Xie Ling and Shen Yi entered the room, the eyes of these four people immediately cast their gazes over.Shen Yan held his sleeves, Xie Xie stepped forward and gave a deep bow: "Thank you, old general, thank you, madam, old madam, long time no see, I'm bothering your house today."

Father Xie continued to keep a straight face, frowning and staring at Shen Bing without saying a word.Mrs. Xie hesitated to speak, Xie Hua just wanted to get up and greet Shen Bing, but he glanced at Father Xie, and sat back slowly.

Xie Ling, who was standing next to Shen Ting, had a cold look, and was about to say something, but the old lady Xie said with a smile: "Master Shen, sit down quickly. Today is a family banquet, so we don't care about these trivial etiquettes."

Father Xie's mouth twitched, and he clenched his chopsticks tightly.

Shen Yi quickly expressed his thanks, and took the table with Xie Ling. At this time, the servants came forward to pour wine, serve dishes, and serve everyone to wash their mouths and hands.After a while, Xie Hua took the lead in toasting, and smiled at Shen Bin: "I haven't seen Master Shen for two years, and the beauty is even better than before. Come, let me respect Master Shen."

Shen Bing raised his glass with a smile, raised his head and drank it all.Xie Hua seemed to want to liven up the atmosphere, and offered two more glasses to Shen Bing, and Shen Bing would not refuse anyone who came, and the wine was exhausted.When Xie Hua motioned for the maid to add more wine for the third time, Xie Yin said, "Brother, please drink less for him. The summer is dry and the wine is hot, so he can't drink too much."

Xie Hua paused, and before he had time to say anything, Father Xie slapped the chopsticks on the table suddenly and let out a heavy "hum".

There was a moment of silence in the hall.Xie Ling narrowed his eyes, and continued to say to Xie Hua: "Brother——"

"Put down your cup!" Father Xie yelled at Xie Hua angrily.

Xie Hua curled his lips and put down his cup.Shen Yan raised his eyes calmly, and cast his eyes on Father Xie, but Father Xie didn't want to meet his eyes, turned to look at Xie Ling, and said coldly: "On weekdays, no matter how you call you home, you don't even have a shadow No, why are you so active today?"

"Don't you understand?" Xie Qin said indifferently, "Of course it's because of Shen Yi——"

Father Xie slapped the table with a "bang", pointed at Xie Ling and said angrily, "Nizi is presumptuous! How dare you say that!"

A bit of resentment appeared on Mother Xie's face, and she quietly tugged on Father Xie's sleeve with some dissatisfaction, but he threw it away.Seeing Father Xie pointing at Xie Ling angrily, he said angrily: "You two disregard human relations and etiquette, that's all for your ancestors and ancestors, you dare to blatantly flaunt your way through the market, and now you are still coming home hand in hand, this—"

Xie Ling stood up abruptly, glanced at Father Xie lightly, and pulled Shen Bing up.Father Xie was taken aback by his actions, pointed at him and said in a daze, "What are you—"

"Since father doesn't recognize him, there is no need for the two of us to listen to your reprimand." Xie Ling embraced Shen Bing and said, "I am your son, but Shen Bing is not, why should he suffer this anger in vain. "

Father Xie cursed loudly, and said, "Let me keep you boy! Let him go!"

"We are a husband and wife. When he comes, I will come, and when he goes, I will go." Xie Jin said with his head held high.

Father Xie was so angry that he kicked the chair with a "bang".At this time, Shen Yan pulled his arm out of Xie Ling's hand, turned around and bowed slightly to Xie's father, and said calmly: "Old General Xie, can you listen to the next sentence?"

Xie's father paused suddenly, and unexpectedly stopped the words that had reached his lips.His complexion was complex, annoyed, angry and a bit unwilling, and his appearance was also very strange, as if he wanted to turn around and refuse to listen to Shen Bing's words, but he didn't want to turn his back completely, so he could only use a stiff expression Standing on the spot, with a straight face, he didn't say a word.

"General Xie's mood, I understand very well." Shen Yan said with downcast eyes, "No matter how we get along with Xie Ling, we still can't resist the rules of the world and the rumors of others. As a junior, I can't and don't want to embarrass the old general. .If you insist on this, I will never enter Xie's private house in the future, and I will treat the old general as my senior in the future."

Father Xie said stiffly: "What do you mean by that. How about you leave Xie's private house?"

"Out of Xie's house, it's the business between me and Rang Zhi." Shen Bing cast his eyes on Xie Ling, who was standing beside Shen Bing, staring at Shen Bing quietly, "He treats me with great affection, and I also love him." You can’t live up to his heart.”

The anger on Xie's father's face fluctuated, but the strange thing was that he didn't speak out to reprimand Shen Bing, but just suppressed his anger in a muffled voice.

During the stalemate, Mrs. Xie suddenly heard a recitation of the Buddha, and asked Shen Bing with a smile: "Master Shen, how about the birth date?"

Shen Bing was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but still told the truth.

Mrs. Xie crossed the Buddhist beads in her hand, murmured her lips and pinched her fingers for a while, then suddenly narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "A match made in heaven, a man of talent and beauty, a peerless couple. Master Shen's horoscope is very compatible with our little one."

Mrs. Xie was overjoyed, but was interrupted by Father Xie's angry voice: "Mother! What do you mean!"

"What do I mean, isn't it obvious?" Mrs. Xie's face was full of smiles, and she glanced at Father Xie, showing a bit of dignity, "When did you learn to be so domineering, everything must be done. Follow what you said!"

Xie father forbearance said: "Mother, they are disrespectful—"

"Who said it was disrespectful?" Mrs. Xie asked him back, "The emperor didn't say it was disrespectful, I didn't say it was disrespectful, and the gods and Buddhas I calculated didn't say it was disrespectful. What are you? Is the emperor bigger, or bigger than the immortal Buddha?"

Father Xie's "what are you" method of training people seems to have been passed down from Mrs. Xie's ancestors, and now it has been taught to him, and its power is equally powerful.At this time, Xie's father was dumbfounded by the training, and he couldn't speak a word.

Xie Hua was sitting beside him watching the tiger, and he had been holding back his laughter for a long time.At this moment, seeing old lady Xie coming out with great power, she immediately stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Okay, Mr. Shen, please sit down quickly. Anyway, today's meal must be eaten."

A tit-for-tat dispute just now quickly disappeared.No matter how dissatisfied Father Xie was, he had no choice but to hold his chopsticks tightly and hold back since Mrs. Xie was in charge.

After the meal, Shen Bing left early very wisely. Of course, Father Xie didn't keep them any longer, only Mrs. Xie took Shen Bing's hand and told him to come and sit at home more with a smile in the future.

The two walked out together side by side.On a moonlit night in the 27th year of Hongwu, they also walked down this road slowly on Yinhui after having dinner with Xie's family.However, at that time, although their hearts were closely related to each other, they were full of fear for the future and the tension of fearing that the world would find out.

At this time, they revisited the old road, and the years passed by like falling flowers and snow, but they no longer had the uneasiness of the past.They have traveled such a long distance and unloaded a lot of burdens along the way. Although the road ahead has been bumpy and unclear for a long time, they will no longer walk with heavy bodies and muddy feet.

"My Lord Shen, finally entered the gate of my Xie's house today." Xie Ling smiled lowly, and took Shen Bing's hand.

Shen Yan also smiled: "It's just to thank the old general—"

"Don't worry, don't look at my father like that, but he doesn't dare to speak loudly to you." Xie Qin tilted his head and raised an eyebrow at him, "Our family is from martial arts, and my father always thought that the three generations of the Xie family's ancestors were He is a vulgar person, so he respects scholars the most. I am afraid that deep down in his heart, he thinks that a bastard like me is not worthy of you who come from a scholarly family."

Shen Bing couldn't help laughing.

"And my mother, she has always liked you the most. The women in their boudoirs all regard you as a son-in-law inlaid with gold. When the aunt wanted to marry her daughter to you, she tried her best to agree. " Xie Ling gently rubbed the five fingers of Shen Bian holding him, "I didn't expect that to fail, and after so many years, you still entered the gate of my Xie family."

Shen Bing smiled for a while.

The two came to the atrium hand in hand and raised their eyes to the sky.I don't know if it's a coincidence, but today's full moon is like a pan, and the ground is covered with silver light, which is somewhat similar to that night four years ago.They stood side by side, looking at the streamer pavilion, feeling each other's breath and temperature so close, they all felt like they were separated from each other.

"Let it go."

Xie Ling heard Shen Yan calling himself softly.Looking back, I saw that person was staring at me from the moonlit night to the light to the darkness, his eyes were shining brightly, like an eternal and ever-changing galaxy.

"Is everything as you expected?"

Xie Ling didn't make a sound, but only pulled him closer with all his strength, and with the help of this gorgeous moonlight, he deeply kissed his beloved.

Why put your heart into words.Where there is no sound, love is strongest.
